To me it’s not a matter of whether live exists anymore, but where it exists

I’d be pretty happy to put $100 right now on life being found on almost every planet and moon throughout the galaxy where liquid water exists.

I would bet all the money in my savings that life exists somewhere in our galaxy, but I’m not sure I’d do it for every moon with water

In a hose, on a rose, up your nose. Everywhere where life can be is where life goes.

While I agree there is a very high probability of life out there, we truly do not know until we can prove it. This evidence JWT found may have another explanation that our scientists are unaware of yet.

I’m so excited to discover a totally different take on life because it will help us truly define what life is.

Then again if we find a similar take on life (carbon based, compatible chemistry to life on earth) then that’s pretty interesting too, implying either panspermia or that there’s something special about this configuration. It also likely means we have more potential for useful discoveries from that life system, as well as threats.

Or that it’s just as inevitable a result of chemical reactions under certain conditions as mixing baking soda and vinegar.
